"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it."

Artie Shaw - I Cover The Waterfront from 1949 and 1941
Oh come on. Seriously. You don't think there's a difference between this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxwAB3SECtc and this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYeV7jLBXvA
This post was about what you said about Artie Shaw, not the Mop Heads. There's a lot bigger difference in Shaw's playing and use of musical resources between those two recordings, those he started with being more complex to start with. And that's just one number and in his career it is the culmination of that line of development. If you can't hear that, well, I never thought you were much of a musician to start with. Sgt. Pepper, I prefer Carla Bley's response to it than what I'd have to say about it.
